Gauguin (Gallery of Art Series)

By Lesley Stevenson

Book Overview

Gauguin's life and works are reassessed here to dispel the myths surrounding him -- many of his own making. He worked as a merchant seaman before becoming a successful Parisian stockbroker while painting in his spare time. After losing his job he began painting in earnest and developed his legendary bohemian lifestyle along the way. Over 40 large, full-color plates are included with detailed commentary on each.
